Saminda Motor Co - 1 Million RE Series 1.5 Turbo Engines Recalled Due to Overheating Risk

DAMN IT I CAN’T BE BEATEN BY A COMPANY WITH THE REPUTATION OF BUILDING CARS AS RELIABLE AS AN EMO TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER

I have to say, yep, good job Saminda. That’s damn good.


@Starfish94 as a small side note, I would like to say, I just beat your C2000R. Carbon wheels, wider tyres and a sequential gearbox was all it took. It’s still cheaper than your base model, has 50 drivability and 55 sportiness. Just saying. I’m deleting this trim now.

Long live Kunai RSR Hatchback. Wait, I just deleted it. Suck on that, Saminda.

i am pretty sure if Saminda did what you did to your Kunai , it will still be faster with much lower horses.

He did well for having 30 horsepower less. Like I said, gj saminda, they did well.

Now the real problem is a £39,999 price tag .

Are you willing to pay so much for a “4 cylinder” vehicle even if it is that fast?

yes, the C2k is well out of the 30k price bracket.

Let’s face it, 40000 pounds gets you a lot of car, you could buy a Caterham and mod it, that would easily be faster than the C2k. Okay, a real car? Then sure, Audi RS3, that is damn quick too and is cheaper than this. Throw your leftover money into mods and that is again faster than a C2k.

Uhh, guys…

300 horsepower. Front wheel drive. And that was with the previous version of the game - it’s probably quite a bit faster now.

Impressive for what it is, but it’s 10 points down on drivability and sportiness, weighs 300kg less somehow, and sports a 6 speed DCT sequential. So, you are sacrificing a lot compared to the Kunai at least (apart from that awesome gearbox). I can’t speak for the C2k. Also, pricing?

:wink:

Ah right I forgot about that. 12 o clock does that to your brain. So what does it cost?

You’ll have to ask @Razyx about that. Sounds like he tried to keep it very reasonable with minimal use of quality sliders.

@Deskyx Look out for an Erin lorry outside your house over the next few days, we’re interested to see what you can do… :wink:

But seriously - and here come the excuses - it could be much faster round GH, but it’s more focused on being road friendly - a proper drivers car - so it’s not quite as sharp as a track day machine.

I think I might know what makes C2000R so expensive. I’ve made a similar (from what I know) car with similar performance (but on another body, as I don’t really like this one) and it costs (with 30% markup) more or less the same as C2000R when it has carbon fiber panels. Does C2000R use carbon fiber?

Ooh I like this! This sounds more akin to a ‘C2000R News, Rumours Release Date etc…’ page on an automotive website rather than automation.

Not that I dislike speculation about cars, please continue!

Well, that car got deleted like everything else when coming a new game build.
…and yup, I usually didn’t use the quality sliders, till these latest versions (but only a few here and there if possible).
In that car I had to add +1 on the wheels and put a lower profile, something that I didn’t want to but…
If the safety was standard, it probably got a -1, and if it was basic +2 or something alike (trying to get a better weight/power ratio).
The transmission probably got another +1… and nothing else.
The engine surely would get a few points.
Looking the costs and production units you can see that the car was made like a reasonable IRL seller (despite being an old body).

BTW, while setting up the car I could get better drivability and sportiness values, sure, but tweaking for lap times, those numbers mean ‘nothing’ :slight_smile:

@phale It’s totally different league ? the Saminda Type R perform round the same as this car while also having around the same price?

(Previous build too)

This is another example of pizza hut vs domino’s pizza.

The overpriced pizza hut have better marketing strat and so, it’s more hyped up. Yet the better tasting domino’s pizza is nearly forgotten…

Because nobody remembers the Phyton Fighter that comes out on the same year, and did the green hell in iirc 7:50 on the last build of the game

Also, this makes me wonder if i can make the guys from KSR can push the modified C3 to make it closer to the C2000R

Now I’m trying to remember what car bodies can handle the mighty MOA-4C…

Edit: Damn it, they changed the engine bay in the Excel I ran in the ARTC. Plan B…

I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with this price tag .-.

EDIT: never mind, I got the point xD

grabs a bucket of popcorn

This “competition” is looking interesting…

@koolkei Phyton Fighter is also a different league , 430hp AWD is definetly faster and also different from what C2KR claiming the fastest RWD hot hatch

What no one is impress is that with just 368hp , it can do a stunning 7.52 , of cause i am waiting someone to tear down the trophy.
